    Well done on all your wins guys, wow £100 itunes i a lot I would probably spend that on Harry Potter audio books haha.

    The thing with instagram is it's not like facebook or twitter where you can see what your friends have entered and copy them so it can be a bit antisocial at times too but once you get the hang of it it's not bad. My id is danigraves87 if anybody wants to follow me, I don't do regram comps though so don't expect to find much other than LEGO, crafts, harry potter and my wee boy.

    Monthly challenge using a few rough guesses of value of items due to not knowing their worth accurately till they arrive I have just surpassed my target for the month x

    Until yesterday I just used to search Instagram/Ins on MSE and enter the few that were posted here.

    Today I have searched Instagram using competition/freebie/giveaway/win and opened any likely looking comps onto my tabs bar, as ikkle sais yesterday there are a lot of orange body builders but you do find the odd competition.

    I am just a learner at this too so any useful information for me and other newbs to Instagram is always welcome :D

    (ikkle I apologise for using your real name yesterday, it was hours later I realised what I had done, but you just posted your full name so I hope you won't slap me too hard) :eek:

    Wooohooo, just found a WEM :)

    I've won a set of books called Children Of A Dead Earth, off to figure out what letter I can use them for :)

    So checked and can't find anything I can use them for :mad:

    I obviously need to start being more careful what comps I'm entering ;) I need a, j, k, v, x, y, z so off to search the boards for prizes beginning with x, y and z :rotfl:

    You need to speak to lucinad she would get you a letter from those for your books :rotfl:

    I've just followed you :) I've only managed to spend £1.58 out of the £100 so far, but that's only because its my birthday next week and my amazon wishlist is full of books and cds, so don't want to risk buying anything I might get for my birthday :D Haven't told my boys I've won it, or they'd want to spend it on in app purchases of lego skins and gold coins :rotfl:

    Just noticed something on the RC/Gl that I have not seen before.

    Normally it says follow xxxx on Twitter, visit xxx on FaceBook.

    I normally follow on Tw and then click on to their FB page and click back off and go on to the next task but tonight it is saying you have to visit the FB page for a specific amount of time (I think it may be 10 seconds but it could be longer)

    Has this been a thing for a while or has it just started?

    I've seen this before, but only a couple of times. It's usually when the gleam is for a company rather than a mummy blogger if that makes sense.

    One thing I've noticed happening a lot recently with the mummy bloggers, is visit Facebook/instagram etc but then to get the entry there's a question - what post did you like/comment on. That one always annoys me because why not just say comment in the requirement! If I knew they wanted a comment I wouldn't have clicked it.

    Really starting to get fed up with rf/gl comps, used to do them as they were quick and easy, open links in new tab, then closes quickly, but they are taking longer and longer to enter :( haven't had a rf/gl win for about 18 months :(

    Most of my wins this year have been from email comps.
